Line 21: − After scouring the web for examples of soldering training, we really liked the lessons captured in the [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837 PACE] series, despite the fact that they were filmed in the 80's. These videos are well produced (for something possibly older than your parents) and have a lot of good information. The quizzable information is in the very first, fifth, and sixth videos, but the other videos have great examples of good and bad soldering joints. − <!== − Another more modern video from [https://www.beautyandthebolt Beauty and the Bolt] is also insightful. TThis video is a little more modern, and a good resource, but not as technically interesting. It talks a bit about desoldering as well as soldering wires together and how to use heat shrink and electrical tape. − ==> − A more modern series is available from [https://www.howcast.com/guides/930-how-to-solder Howcast]. It wouldn't hurt at all to watch this series, but we will just focus on a couple for the quiz. + − − Finally, there is an official training video from the [[Maker Hub]] that is tailored to our specific space and equipment. This video will give you the information you need to perform the live solder demonstration required for your soldering certification. − − ==== PACE Basic Soldering Series ==== − − This nostalgic set of [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837 videos] from PACE are quite old, but surprisingly still quite relevant. The style makes you think that you will be getting ready to watch an old Disney cartoon - you aren't.

It provides great background on solder, flux, wetting, and then mechanics of the iron and the joint. We do not have the student handbook that is mentioned. We suspect that you can manage without that. − Here are some key ideas that you should watch for: − * What is solder? − ** What temperatures do the different solders melt at? − * What is flux? − * What is wetting? − * What are the different aspects of a soldering iron? − − − {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIT4ra6Mo0s}} − − ===== Basic Soldering Lesson 2-5 ===== − − − − ===== Basic Soldering Lesson 3 ===== − − − − ===== Basic Soldering Lesson 4 ===== − − − − ===== Basic Soldering Lesson 5 ===== − − − − --> − ===== Basic Soldering Lesson 6 ===== − − − ===== Basic Soldering Lesson 7 ===== − − − ===== Basic Soldering Lesson 8-9 ===== − − − ===== Basic Soldering Lesson 9 ===== − − − ==== Howcast How to Solder ==== − This set of [https://www.howcast.com/guides/930-how-to-solder videos] from Howcast is worth watching, but we will only highlight a couple of them here that talk about removing solder. − − ===== How to Remove Solder ===== − {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lnRf2biz50}} − − ===== How to Remove Through-Hole Components ===== − {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjQf0ajBYmM}} − <!-- − ==== Beauty and the Bolt ==== − Not as technical, but there are some good tips for soldering different things here, as well as desoldering things. There are also a couple of items that should be addressed. − * When soldering the vector board, she does not use flux. This works as the surfaces are clean and there is flux in the rosin-core solder she is using. However, using flux is always recommended. − * She shows how to solder solid-core wire together and then she uses [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrink_tubing heatshrink tubing]] to cover the joint. Heatshrink is a wonderful thing, and the way that she used it was correct. However, the method she used only works well if the wire is not connected to other things. Often, the wires are connected on either end, and the splice is being performed to complete a connection. If one waits until after soldering before adding the heatshrink, it ... uh ... no worky. The heatshrink should be put on first, run down the wire out of the way, and then the wire can be twisted and soldered. After it cools, slide the heatshrink up and use the heat gun to shrink it. − − − {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwU9SqO0udU}} − − − − ==== Maker Hub Video ==== − This video contains specific information for soldering in the Maker Hub as well as a basic overview of what will be expected in your live demonstration. − − {{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE9HkdwAT-k&feature=youtu.be}} − − === Certification === − − ==== FoxTale Course ==== − To obtain certification for using the soldering irons in the Maker Hub, you will need to complete the [https://foxtale.georgefox.edu/moodle/course/view.php?id=23483 Foxtale course: Maker Hub - Soldering Iron]. This course contains a quiz with questions from the videos. When the quiz has been completed, you can sign up to perform the soldering demonstration. − − ==== Demonstration ==== − For the live demonstration you will receive a small PCB and a few components and will be required to solder the components to the circuit board. The circuit kit contains a 555 timer IC, 3 resistors, a capacitor, and LED, and a 9V battery connector. When completed, the system will slowly blink the LED. The schematic of the circuit is shown below. To find pin 1 of an IC, reference the [https://www.evilmadscientist.com/2010/basics-finding-pin-1 internet]. − − ==== Components ==== − − <gallery> − File:blinkypcb.jpg|[[Media:Blinky.zip|PCB]] − </gallery> − − ==== Schematic ==== − [[File:soldering_course_circuit.jpg|left|500px|Blinking LED schematic]]. − − <!-- − ==== Working Circuit ==== − [[File:Blinking_LED_Circuit.gif|left|150px]] − -->
